TL;DR — BetComply helped Playbook Fusion obtain Swedish approval in less than two weeks for its real-money football betting game. The work builds on last year’s UK, MGA, and eCogra certifications and will extend to more jurisdictions. It shows how product-specific expertise speeds regulated expansion.
SCCG Take — Early compliance integration allows developers to navigate complex requirements quickly. This model favors firms that pair regulatory knowledge with deep product understanding amid rising European enforcement.
Regulatory consultancy BetComply has helped boutique games studio Playbook Fusion secure its Swedish permit, with approval granted in less than two weeks. The UK-based firm supported the developer throughout the process for its real-money football management betting game, a product that requires deeper regulatory expertise due to its specific nature and approval demands.
BetComply will also assist Playbook Fusion with approvals in additional jurisdictions as the studio expands its regulated presence. This latest step follows a partnership formed last year, when the consultancy helped obtain the UK Gambling Commission licence, MGA recognition notice, and ISMS certification with eCogra for the Playbook Football product.
“As we take Playbook Fusion into more regulated markets, every jurisdiction brings its own requirements and complexities,” said Steve Rogers, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Playbook Fusion. “BetComply understands both the regulatory side and the nature of our product, which makes them an invaluable partner as we scale.”
The arrangement follows a similar deal last year with Solidicon. BetComply has also partnered with Omnitronix and iGP. Mike de Graaff, Chief Compliance Officer at the firm, commented: “Playbook Fusion is moving quickly, but it is doing so with compliance built into the process from the beginning. Sweden is another important step, and we are already supporting the team across a number of additional jurisdictions as Playbook Fusion continues its international expansion.”
De Graaff previously told SBC News that the time is now for “real-time compliance” as regulators across Europe ramp up enforcement measures. As reported by SBC News, the work highlights the role of targeted regulatory support for novel products seeking swift market entry.

We have watched too many innovative products die in regulatory limbo because compliance was an afterthought. BetComply's model — deep product expertise paired with jurisdictional fluency — is exactly what novel formats need to scale across fragmented European markets. This is the blueprint for efficient expansion in 2025 and beyond.
SCCG angle: SCCG connects studios and operators to compliance partners who understand both product and policy. If you are building something new or scaling across Europe, we introduce you to the advisors and testing labs who will not slow you down — because we have done this with 545 partners across every regulated market.
